Teens Making A Change (T-MAC) is a community-based teen delinquency prevention and intervention program founded by Dr. Sheila Morris, Psy.D. Located in Lancaster, CA, T-MAC is dedicated to combating teen delinquency in various neighborhood settings through mental health awareness, social environmental engagement, financial wealth, and political activism. The program serves as a place for teenage expression and adventure, providing support and guidance during the challenging transition from adolescence to adulthood. T-MAC focuses on addressing mental health issues and delinquent behavior, particularly among inner city and urban youth, by promoting leadership, a sense of belonging, and open discussions on topics important to the teens.
T-MAC offers a step-by-step guide for youth leaders interested in creating their own youth programs within apartment building complexes. The program emphasizes the importance of youth involvement, conducting elections, fundraising, increasing social awareness, and empowering teens to proactively change the conditions of their lives. With a diverse membership predominantly consisting of African American and Latino youth, T-MAC has the potential to be an ideal prevention intervention program for apartment living, school-based, and neighborhood settings.
